5:01 am
with me to see catherine of let's get right to our top story european leaders are currently arriving for a second day of talks in brussels but the e.u. financial wrangling could lead to no deal at all the german chancellor seems to have lost faith in members abilities to work together and so has the british prime minister who is pushing the toughest for all those cuts at stake is the trillion euro funding for the e.u. club with countries battling over whether the bloc needs to tighten its belt or poor and more cash or to sell for a thousand more. still a lot of wrangling going on over this the budget as the talks continue of course the countries like britain like the netherlands that have very much pushing for the cuts are up against the other side of the year as in countries such as great such as spain really need that money and so the mall cuts that they managed to achieve within the budget itself the less likely it is that the european parliament will appreciate that and so calls you could see these talks even though they've taken say much time and effort ultimately ending in failure as german chancellor angela
5:02 am
merkel has pointed out there's a very real possibility here that there will simply be a case of no deal when it comes to the budget and we'll see this argument this discussion dragging on well into next year's really at the moment the pitches that you're getting is that the whole thing just seems to be in a bit of a mess as a whole has really seem to love this vision recently you know we've seen these huge protests sweeping across the whole of the year is a very very big divides whitening all the time and very much again this is mirrored in what's happening at the east summit now are you getting a picture of a t t europe you've got the countries at the moment that have gone through this negotiating table that has historically contributed much more in britain is amongst those countries and of the main countries like greece and like spain who are absolutely needing this budget to be passed without these cuts taking place britain's not alone for calling on these cuts cameron as i said very much trying to
5:03 am
helm this flights. having calling for these cuts even if david cameron was to get exactly what he wanted from this e.u. summit meeting as they say he might win the battle he still has to fight the war and the war is here it seems britain's then to sit within the e.u. has never being the same in question. well the solution went with the european project has brought in more support to. then britain for the u.k. independence party which believes that only pulling out of the e.u. will do what's more recent polls show that more than half of britons agree with that statement well turn out to party leader and m.p. nigel farai. sir thanks so much for taking the time to speak with us again i want to get straight to the to the meat of this issue have been your anti e.u. party is gaining support among britain's that's correct but if the country leaves i mean won't it lose benefits of being part of the world's largest single market as well as the freedom to live and work anywhere in europe and your strategy could
5:04 am
effectively i was late britain in the global marketplace couldn't it no in fact the isolation from the global marketplace is caused because we're members of the single market customs union i was that means is that despite the fact that the u.k. is the world's sixth biggest trading nation we are actually pretty good from having our own by the actual trade deals with any other part of the world that has to be done on our behalf so the u.k. message is simple we love europe we want to get on with our neighbors we want to trade with them through a simple free trade agreement but then we focus british business to start concentrating on doing more deals around the rest of the world this european model this idea that europe is what matters and the rest of the world can go hang frankly is decades out of date well decades out of date as you say but if you talk about this european love i mean how do you balance sort of having these member states working together to compete effectively in the world without some feeling like they're paying for their fellow members failures. well in
5:05 am
a sense this budget negotiation that you're seeing here is not unusual i mean every time the big decisions for the next seven years come up there are always countries that are donor countries that are a bit reluctant and there are always recipient countries that are rather keen to push the budget up and of course the french always make sure that the common agricultural policy doesn't get reform the difference this time is that the split isn't just over the budget the split is also about the eurozone as well because it's those northern countries that are members of the euro zone who are really becoming increasingly reluctant to put more money into the central european budget and let's remember nobody here is talking about cuts not even david cameron what david cameron is saying is that he's happy for us to go on paying fifty three million pounds a day as our membership fee of this club with two point seven percent inflation over the next seven years so nobody here is talking about cuts it's just that the
5:06 am
parliament and the commission want it increased by five to six percent per annum and i will of course the joke is that the reason that these budget talks happen every seven years is because they're so difficult but jokes aside i mean even i work also has doubts about the success of their so i mean she she is she if she's in comments what hope do do the numbers have been coming to an agreement well i mean let's not i mean that there are very serious problems within the european union at the moment and particularly within the euro zone but let's not overplay the importance of this summit because if they don't come to an agreement tonight well they can always come back in january in february they've still got time to get this sorted out so i don't think this summit itself all the issues that are being debated today specifically have a problem i think the real problem is that europe is now split from north to south in every way politically economically and of course culturally it always was and that's the real crisis within the european union and then there's the other dimension. which of course is the british angle on it it doesn't matter what deal
5:07 am
mr cameron comes back with today or in january or february the sixty percent of britons that now don't want to be members of this union don't believe there's any price worth paying and on the britain issue i mean do you think that there david cameron really should be continuing to press the line about cuts in the u. a budget i mean i know you say that you don't really think this is about cuts but even to the point of vetoing the budget well but even as i say you know margaret thatcher came here in ninety four and famously was said to have waved a hand bag and threatened the other delegates and she got a deal whereby britain got a budget rebate and we all cheered and we said you know what she's won a marvelous deal for us and the price of membership of the common market is worth it the point is this the whole british debate has moved on so far that whatever deal cameron gets will be unacceptable to sixty percent of the population so he
5:08 am
really is in a very difficult position indeed all right well thank you so much difficult position indeed nigel farage thank you so much for taking time to speak with us. are i well one area the cash strapped e.u. leaders are being forced not to let their guard down as on defense and security their pay in parliament voted through a resolution to keep national militaries at full strength poly boyko explains and that warning is that we do seem defense budget could lead to the e.u. strategic decline. defense is giving the european union sleepless nights with the book still reeling from an economic heart attack it's no surprise that its combined military strength has taken a hit now i mean them brought souls have approved a resolution saying that they must respond to a growing strategic changes and threats to global security and make full use of all existing means including military ones to secure peace and security for its
5:09 am
citizens this means a new operational headquarters is on the cards and that the bosses will have the oath or see to jump into all types of crises including what it calls high intensity conflicts otherwise known as wars it's a question of business as well your m.p. stressed that building up europe's capabilities would save and even create jobs pumping more investment into the military industry not all member states are going to be jumping for joy over the plans the more ambitious e.u. common security and defense policy could leave britain between a rock and a hard place the u.k. could end up getting dragged into military campaigns that it has no interest in joining. the call is being restored in gaza but the truth remains fragile with the details of the deal still being hammered out meanwhile portholes say many in israel don't support peace without analysis on that coming right up also for you all

doctors involved plane are being punished for helping injured anti regime protesters as the country brushes off human rights condemnation with the help of powerful foreign backed. british lived a minister lives further still and so that's why. men have babies it allows men to pass them up on the letter to power essentially children are a setback for women who want to be successful and equal to men so they want to give men the option of taking maternity leave or would that be paternity leave i don't know i kind of see the logic of her view but my question is featherstone is why exactly is success in the corporate world the primary goal of life for men and women as a feminist i would think you understand that wanting to fight your way up the ladder to buy a big card or place your shortcomings is
5:11 am
a very male way of judging success are women who choose to have families failures or at least unsuccessful in your book even as a man i know that my pocket is really empty after having the first of hopefully many kids but i don't see our child as a financial setback keeping me from buying an x. box guess what success is relative to the goal and maybe your corporate boardroom vision of success isn't for everyone women who have kids are failures in my opinion but then again that's just my opinion.

5:16 am
described as surgical take a listen israel did the most possible not to hurt the civilians what we did is we pinpointed our operation just to the terrorist leaders and to their army and ammunition but i do agree that they were once in a while there were civilian cattle casualties and we feel very bad about it but as you know this is not an easy operation no military operation is but by any international standard the collateral damage here is pretty minimal amounts of civilians who die it's hard to say this way it sounds very bad but it could have been much much worse if we weren't so surgical and if our pilots were not given instructions to be very very precise in to aim is specially at the military terrorist leaders. well thanksgiving day turned deadly on the roads in texas or more than one hundred vehicles piled up on a foggy highway killing two people injuring dozens were report on the tragedy for
